AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Only 11 days until results day *hyperventilates* help!!!!!

Good luck to everyone waiting for A level, AS level and GCSE results!

Don't worry Nat. I'm sure you'll do well. I have been right so far haven't I?

This is different! What if I fail and don't get in. I have to get in to Bangor...I just have to..and if I do really badly then I won't and...then...... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAH

How far is Bangor from fit guy in Anglesey?

You'll be fine

Pleeeeeeeeeease don't worry until you have something to worry about, which you won't so there's no point in worrying, is there?

Only 10 minutes hehe!! He knows I'm hopefully coming too!

Oh Nat, it'll be fine!

I shouldn't have told you how many days it was!

And besides you can't fix anything til the 18th so stop worrying about it! And if you don't get into Bangor, it was meant to be and you'll find somewhere better!

YAY!!!!

I don't want to go anywhere else but Bangor!!! And my future husband lives near there!

I just don't want to have done badly, wrecked everything and disapoointed everyone

You won't. Trust me. Who's this future husband? Have I missed something???

Ooohh THAT serious!!! WOW!!

Why would you dissapoint anyone if you don't get the grades that you hope for? I am positive that you will get the grades that you need, and if you don't, well sort it out when it comes to it. You can't fix what isn't broken, and at the moment your future isn't. Wait for your results. There is no point in worrying over something yu can do nothing about. Good luck though. I am sure that you will get even better results than you could have ever dreamed of!

I feel the same Nat! 18 days for me :-\!

When's the wedding - can we do a forums orchestral piece at it?

LOL - I'm joking! But he will be my future husband if I have anything to do with it!

18 days for me too.

Good luck to everyone who is waiting for results. I am sure you have all donw far better than you could have ever imagined!

10 days!

I don't like this countdown, it will just make us all more nervous. Why don't we all just try and forget about results day then it'l be a pleasant (or otherwise) surprise when it rears it head.



Nice to see you really like to get to know a person before making a commitment Nat.

I'm really not too bothered at this second in time! My theory is, is that I can't redo the exams, I did my best at the time, and I can't solve anything til results day, so I'm not going to worry until the day before!

Like purple dolphin (I think) said, you can't fix something which isn't broken!

ooooooh! 17 days until i get Chinese and Music back....<aaah... > and i'll have to go through this again next year...the JOY

*sound of the poor bloke running for his life into the distance*

lol

Up here...results day is tomorrow!!!

I'm not getting any results, but I'm having a great time teasing my two older brothers who are .

9 days till I get my exam results

awww, nat's in lurve!

10 days! AHHHH!

Good luck everyone! I took my Maths and Japanese GCSE this year, so I'll be getting that... but I'm not really nervous about it, not as much as everyone else is!

I saw your DOB on your profile, does that mean you took maths early?wow...

I have a question, and no offence meant, but why do so many people get put into their GCSEs early? I know 4 people who did their GCSE french early because they were bilingual, and in 1 case french was her first language, english her second, and I can understand why they'd do their exam 1 year or even 2 years early.But are you just super brainy at maths, or did you have to work for it? Did it feel rushed, or easy? What are you gonna do next year? And I guess Japanese is coz you are Japanese/relatives are Japanese?

Just curious, and I'm not having a go!

*ahem*!!! *stern look*

10 days!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I got a letter from UCAS today elmo saying about what to do in case of not getting grades.....think that means I've not got them!

My brother has done 3 GCSEs this year, and he is in year 9. He did RE, French and Art. For French and RE, the top set in those subjects had to do the course, and so it seemed stupid not to do the exam. For Art, he got chosen to do it. The school he is at, the headmaster wants the school to look good, in my county in England, you change schools at the end of year 9 (so you do years 1-6 at one school, 7-9 at another and 10-13 at another). A disadvantage is, if you enjoy the subject which you have taken early you can't do it when you get into year 10 so it limits your choices. Oh, and my brother, he is bright, but more towards Maths and Science rather than Languages, although is he still predicted an A for it. It is going to be interesting on results day - he did the same course I did....

God that must be weird! What I like about me and my brother is that we're good at different things, so we don't compete with each other that way. We do about who gets into the bathroom first, fight for it and I always loose, sort of competiveness though lol!

He's good at sport, I'm not. He's good at science and maths, I'm not. I'm good at music and he knows he'll never beat me on that, and I'm better at languages than him. I think it's great we do different things, means we've got lots to talk about!

Well with me and my brother, he is great at Maths, I'm ok, I am good at sport, he is too, but doesn't join a club or anything so it isn't measured, I am better at music, and he gets jealous because he thinks my parents are just giving me money to spend on flute stuff. But with languages...he is good, but I don't know. It is going to be horrible though on results day if one of us does so much better than the other.

I ended up taking Maths in November of Year 11 (when the retakes are on). We would have taken it a year early but our school hadn't yet got its head around the coursework. I ended up with an A* and never really had to work for it, so it made sense to take it early. Provided you're going to get a top grade, the more GCSEs you can get out of the way before you have to take them, the better.

And 17 days to go.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I am don't worry about that!!
25th is going to be a horrible day! (Well before 11.30 anyway)

I got a letter the other day giving me "advice" about clearing Me and Nat spent half an hour talking about that one letter!

She might've posted about it, but it probably won't appear here til tomorrow

Considering that for 9 weeks of my summer holiday I'm doing precisely nothing, it's seems silly that the 25th is the day I have to arrive back from Soul Survivor Camp, pick up my GCSE results AND head off to Reading Festival

11:30! God that's late! Does anyone know when the A-level ones come out?!

Trebor: well done on your A*, what did you do while everyone else was in maths? I can see why you took it early!

Thanks. Our school is a specialist maths/science college though, so 1/3 of the year took it early. The rest of the time was spent beginning the AS course and we had some odd little exam at the end to check we'd learnt something.

I know! Couldn't they open like at 9 or something *grr*

I'm sure for GCSE we got ours at about 9:30?

Must be just our stupid school then!

Yeah, I'm in Year 10 (or was until July), so I took it a year early.



Yeah, I took Japanese because I am Japanese, and it's pips... most of the questions are like, matching a picture of a fork to its word. And the listening tape is so tedious... they read everything about 1/8 of the normal speed. I guess that's how GCSE listening must be like to French people taking French etc.

14 people out of 180 students in my school took their Maths early (in my school, Maths is the only subject that allows early enries). I felt a bit stressed doing my Maths, because my teacher was lousy... but Maths had always been my best subject and I got on all right without doing too much work. I'm the type of person to work their socks off even if I know that I'll do well, so I did a lot of preparation for it. I think it's a good thing to do GCSEs early, providing you can get a good grade, because it just gets it out of the way. From September, I'll be starting an AS module or something. That's good because I'm going to take A Level Maths anyway.

I can't even remember GCSE!

Don't let it panic you... I got one of those, too, and I got ABBD when I only needed BBB even for my first choice. I thought it was rather mean actually - considering the unis find out your results sooner than you do, if you get a letter about clearing it makes you think "I MUST have failed" which is an awful thing to do to anybody!

We get a letter the day before results day saying whether our place is "unconditional" or "unsuccessful". I'm in 2 minds as to whether I should open it!

That sounds really cruel...do the universities know your grades before you do?

Good Luck to anyone who is recieving results this uear. I am sure you all did great!

Yes they know at least a few days before if not more

It is as bad as having your teachers know!
